I don't see why this incident is noteworthy. UGA is certainly not the first team to talk shite to Clemson as they run down their hill; certainly won't be the last (I'm willing to bet Carolina does it every other year). And if Clemson needed this small incident to motivate them, then UGA would have won decisively last night.

Try sitting around for a huge game while the home team takes 5 minutes to load buses on one side of the stadium, drive around to the OTHER side of the stadium, pile up at the top of the hill for some really lame grand entrance, and pour down a hill while a bunch of balloons are released.

These guys have been waiting for this kickoff since last January. I'd be talking shite and wanting to go too.


Richt has now lost control of fans too. Thugs.

It really is a shame. Whatever happened to playing with class or honor. How about acting like you've been there before. Why does a man that proclaims the beliefs and values that Mark Richt professes allow his players to act like fricking, disrespectful retards?

I could understand it if Lane Kiffen were the coach. I'm starting to agree with the rest of the east fan bases - Richt is tPOS himself.

You said they've been waiting since January. What's another 5 minutes? So you think a bus ride, rock, & balloons are lame? Everyone knew it was going to happen before it did, there were no surprises. So why excuse a visiting team for disrupting a home team's tradition? Because you think it's lame?

UG's coaches should've handled it differently. To be such a righteous man, he too often lets his players behave poorly.

Because Mark Richt is one man with his own beliefs and his team consists of 85 children with their own background, life experiences, and beliefs.

Oh, and this is only a big deal to people who already hate UGA and Richt. And I guess the Clemson fan filming it.

It really isn't a big deal at all.

This is SECSECSEC football, people. It's not women's basketball.

Considering I was chomping at the bit at noon yesterday, let alone pulling my hair out watching the drawn out stadium entrance on TV last night, I imagine 5 more minutes was killing them.

How did they disrupt it? They stood off to the side and cat-called at the players flying down the hill. Unless you have video of some UGA players sucker punching Clemson players while they were running. Which you don't.

I guess we could say the same thing about Tebow and his UF teammates. But that would be stupid reasoning, wouldn't it?

Holy frick who gives a shite? Like Durden said, the only people who are making a big deal about this are those that hate Richt.

Maybe they just wanted to get a closer look at "the most exciting entrance of college football" per Brent Musburger...

Didn't look that bad too me. The redneck saying "you can't do that" was worse IMO.

So Clemson shouldn't have their lame home game traditions because UG was too undisciplined & impatient to wait five more minutes?

I think taunting a team during their lame traditions is intended to disrupt, otherwise, why do it? Because UG players were intending to be ignored? Punches thrown w/ video? you're ridiculous.

After two in a row Tebow & UF should be out of your head. You know he doesn't play for Florida any longer, right?

35 points in a 3 point loss wasn't backing it up? It's not like we were blown out.
